Iran strikes Israeli hospital...

The hospital was damaged but the strike hit the building NEXT to the hospital. The Israelis did not disclose what this building was. I wonder why?

Just two more weeks for this presidentin' stuff.

Farcical. Said same thing to Russia and did zero. Attention-seeking idiot who is undermining US credibility.

As we have seen in Gaza, it was Israel who created a world where "mistakenly" hitting a hospital has now become a standard act of self defense.

‘2 weeks’. I called that yesterday. He always says that when he doesn’t know what he is doing.

He said this crap 5 years ago, screaming he was going to hit Iran 'at 52 points!'.

Seems like that could be a possibility

Then covid came to the USA and he denied it and stirred up all the unrest and strife here. 

And then he brilliantly in record time put a team together to create “Washington warp speed” and came up with vaccine to deal with it.

Now he's backpedaling, 'Uh uh uh-uh uhhhhhhhh........two weeks! Yeah yeah! Two weeks!'.

He can especially if he has a strategy or talking to his military officials as to what actions if any to take in this situation.

Whatever comes from all this, der Diaper Stinker is going to try to come on as a 'diplomat' or a 'peacemaker' and strut like a peacock, taking credit for everything. 

He should

And the MAGA cultists will bow and say 'Yessir, yessir, yessir, yessir...........'.

Yup.

O.K I shouldn’t even bother but now Israel are apparently using human shields.

Now the hospital was not bombed, just waiting for the next obvious mind slip where Israel LET the bomb hit the hospital, in order to justify its evil Zionist plan and bloodlust.

The fact that the leftist are lining up like ducklings in support of the Iranian regime, one that shoots women for daring to take off their hijabs brutally suppresses their own people, sponsors terrorism and overtly stated that their ultimate plan was to wipe Israel off the face of the earth shows the skewed and deprived depths of misjudgment this particular mindset births.

God speed Israel, they are not starting a war they are finishing one and god speed to the Iranian people who now have the chance to be free of this murderous backward regime.

Now handing you back to the ‘evil Zionist’ mob.

Iran strikes Israeli hospital

Given the number of Israeli strikes on Palestinian hospitals, I guess the Israelis now have a deeper understanding of the outrage they have caused in Gaza. But I doubt many care about Gaza or those who live there.

There are lies all over the article...LMAO....you focus on the pic of hospital, I focus on the rapidity alleged that Iran can build a nuke.....then theres the issues of sending it by plane or rocket.

Why did the IAEA report that Iran had enriched uranium to 60% if they weren’t going to use it for a nuclear weapon when nuclear powered civilian infrastructure only requires an enrichment level of 5%?

You won’t answer

Wait.. are you seriously saying you think Iran doesn’t have a rocket that can reach Israel in an article about how Iran hit Israel with a rocket? Lmao you can’t be serious

Where is there any claim from Iran or anyone that there was a command center under this hospital?

@JboneInTheZone Why did the IAEA suspiciously release its statement a day before Israel attacked Iran? Why did 11 countries abstain and 3 countries voted against the resolution so the vote was 19-14 with the US and its allies making up the 19 pro votes?

It is a matter of great hypocrisy that Israel who has destroyed all Gaza hospitals, now shows outrage when one of its hospitals is slightly damaged by Iran retaliating for Israel attacking it. How can you not see that? Blind much.

The famous "two weeks".

I mean that could have been one of those "blank out the newspaper headline and guess the missing words" games.

"Trump says he will do X in...."

Al Jazeera reported the target was a Israel military building right next to the hospital, not the hospital itself.

For context Israel flattened 36 hospitals in Gaza.

"****Iran said Thursday the main target of a missile attack in which a hospital in southern Israel was hit was an Israeli military and intelligence base, not the health facility.

" The main target of the attack was the Israeli Army Command and Intelligence Base (IDF C4I) and the Army Intelligence Camp in Gav-Yam Technology Park, located in the vicinity of the Soroka Hospital,” Iran state news agency IRNA said.

9 ( +11 / -2 )

The Israeli authorities are doing a very aggressive job at censorship relating to targets and maintaining a 'refined' information management narrative.

The adjacent Communications, Control and Intelligence Headquarters (IDF C4I HQ) was the primary target, as was IDF Central Intelligence and Operations Building in the Gav-Yam Technology Park, both right across the road, with said hospital taking shock wave damage only (easily visible from the actual interior damage).

Tehran striking back at strategic military targets with accuracy should be the focus here, but that's not what is wanted of course.

Why did the IAEA suspiciously release its statement a day before Israel attacked Iran? 

Israel attacked partially BECAUSE of the IAEA report. When a report comes out stating that a regional adversary who has declared their intention to destroy your country is closing ground on uranium enrichment past any probable civilian use you’re going to try to prevent it

Why did 11 countries abstain and 3 countries voted against the resolution so the vote was 19-14 with the US and its allies making up the 19 pro votes?

This has nothing to do with the report they released. The report is independent of the vote you’re talking about which is in reference to whether or both Iran is complying with obligations. Their enrichment of uranium to 60% is something they vote on

-13 ( +3 / -16 )

It is a matter of great hypocrisy that Israel who has destroyed all Gaza hospitals, now shows outrage when one of its hospitals is slightly damaged by Iran retaliating for Israel attacking it. How can you not see that? Blind much.

I asked a very simple question that you refused to answer so I’ll ask again: do you condemn this hospital attack?

-16 ( +3 / -19 )

Al Jazeera reported the target was a Israel military building right next to the hospital, not the hospital itself.

So if they’re attempting to hit military targets it’s fine then? So if Israel is attempting to hit military targets in a hospital it’s fine then? I’m confised

-12 ( +3 / -15 )

Yet in Ukraine it’s NEVER accepted that the target was the military troops actually in the (school/hospital/old people home/mall).

or that the target was actually in the building next door.

or that the missile was “shot down” causing it to go off target.

So why is this propaganda accepted here this time?

-16 ( +6 / -22 )

Israeli military spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin accused Iran of deliberately targeting civilians in the hospital attack.

“That is state-sponsored terror and a blatant violation of international law," Defrin told a press briefing.

I've always wondering what could split the MAGA cult - and cause Trump's loyal supporters to turn on him...and this decision on involving the US in another Middle East war could be it...

MAGA-world, and Trump, made its name by saying "America First" and that the US had involved itself in way too many foreign adventures - and a tenet of his 2016 and 2024 platform was "no new wars"....

Well, if he breaks that promise, just has he has so many others, that could be the straw that breaks the camel's back. You already see it with MAGA heroes Bannon, Carlson, MTG, Kirk, and many others saying any new war would be a betrayal of the MAGA cause.

If Trump decides to join with Israel in attacking Iran, all hell will break loose in MAGA-world and the Repub party - and it's open warfare between Trump and his new NEOCON partners and the America Firsters...

And just like that MAGA-world will self-implode...

That there is no predefined plan for this shows that not only is Israel completely controlling the agenda, but also that they did not even consult with the USA in the run up to the attack.

Iran is like Russia: a historical state with strategic depth able to sustain the war but patient to make gains over time. Able to absorb the jabs and come back stronger.

Israel is like Ukraine: it 100% relies on the US for advantage - ostensibly provocative and escalatory to get the latter to join the war on its behalf because it knows it will ultimately lose without military intervention.

Initially Israel expected Iran to splurge and launch its entire complement of missiles not only to immediately exhaust itself, but also to invite a huge 'tragedy' that can be used to incite US entry into the provoked war (this hospital charade is precisely that). Instead, Iran has chosen a similar strategy to Russia - which is to deliberately slow the conflict down and stretch Israel's (and the US's) finite resources all the while withstanding the pressure.

The name of the game is bleeding them dry slowly with the 'death by a thousand cuts' strategy employed by Russia against the Atlanticist empire in Ukraine. To this end, Iran is now sending small but increasingly more effective volleys of missiles daily to grind down Israel's military and economic resources, while rallying popular domestic support.

Godspeed to the IAF and their righteous mission to rid the world of the number one terror sponsor on the planet. And hopefully it can be done with minimal civilian casualties, as is usual with the IDF in general. Iran, in turn, lacks the tech or the will to differentiate between civilian and military targets.

Hopefully this will be over soon and the Iranian people can free themselves from the shackles that keep them down.

What is also lost is Iran, as a decent sovereign nation and observed UN member in good standing and signatory to the NPT, has each and every right to maintain a domestic enrichment capacity AND to produce HEU.

They have done it before. These people are currently starving two million people. A few dead Americans will mean nothing to them if it gives the US media an excuse to beat the war drums and dupe the public into supporting US involvement.

Iran bombed Soroka hospital, the main hospital in the south of Israel. It is a civilian hospital, which of course does not contain any military base. The hospital serves Jweish and Arabic patients. Had you strolled in the hospital's campus before it was hit, you would have seen a mixture of Jewish and Arabic patients, as well as a mixture of Jewish and Arabic doctors, nurses and workers.

Three of the Arabic doctors I know personally are the wonderful Dr. Abed, a senior surgeon, the excellent Dr. Ibrahim, a surgeon, and the kind and professional Dr. Isma'il, a nephrologist. One Arabic nurses I know personally is the charming, modest and kind, Hijab-wearing, Nurse Iman, a nephrological nurse.

The mad arch-criminal Iranian Ayatollah has just tried to murder Dr. Abed, Dr. Ibrahin, Dr. Isma'il, Nurse Iman, their Jewish colleagues and their Jewish and Arabic patients.

Precisely. Long before this started Tehran has been preparing and no doubt has been decentralizing and dispersing critical assets, equipment and creating redundancy in personnel and capabilities that can be preserved and reconstituted at a later date.

There are also increasing doubts about the overall effectiveness of the initial IDF air campaign, despite the back slapping. To remove an entire nuclear program or cause regime change simply with a sneak air campaign is very questionable indeed.

Ricky....Iran does not shoot women who take of the headscarf.

I have referenced western you tube tourists travelling in main Iran cities, on trains, metros, shopping malls, coffee shops. The pics I sa were some women wearing headscarfs, some not at all and some women covering completely. Google "Iran travel videos "

Even saw some young women riding skateboards and wearing track suits.

Secondly, there is no official Govt. plan to wipe Israel off the map.

A few days ago, a Farsi speaker on this forum explained how a deliberate mistranslation between what one offficial said and what was translated.

The war is against Zionism, a vicious POLITICAL offshoot of Judaism with no religious roots at all. Jews from all over the world have rejected Zionism as secular and not religious based or related to Judaism.

Why do I, a secular person and non Jew know more about these things.

Midday today...just watched a Youtuber video on travels in Iran...he was American , video less than 6 months old.

Well, lots of people, all friendly but to the point, lots of women, talking freely to this single man and guess what ?

Some women in scarves, some not, some with complete hair cover, some hair flowing freely.

NO WOMEN GETTING MURDERED FOR SHOWING HAIR .

I cant believe a rational person on this forum made this allegation.

Secondly, I dont think the US wants a war with Iran, even the MAGA crowd loosing interest.
